you're pretty much worthless if you own an M3 and you don't buy BBS...

Go with MORR wheels. 20inch 9.5 front and 20inch 10.5 rears.

You're only options are BBS (20"), HRE (20"/19"), and Volks (19"/18").

You should do 19. I have had 20's and they ride like dirt. I have also had 18's and they just don't look great. 19s are a great compromise. Hope this helps.


Also are you a good driver or do you hit curbs? If you hit curbs then go with cheap rims like VMR etc. But if your mr miticulus then go with high dollar bbs. I personally run into shit all the time so I stick with cheap rims. I lust after bbs lm but I know I would ruin them in a week.

Volk, HRE, BBS, Advan, or OEM are my recommendations. I have had 20's, 19's and 18's. 20's are 100% compromise without any performance advantage. 18's yield a great ride and, with the right tires, the best performance. 18's look best on a lowered car (preferably coil-overs). 19's are a good compromise but I prefer 18's. 9.5" fronts and 10.5" rears are the most common widths.
